Do You Visit a Pumpkin Patch or Apple Orchard?

Tallgal · ‎03-12-2010

Just wondering if anyone visits a pumpkin patch or apple orchard? QVC hosts mention visiting these places often so I thought I would ask. The place I like to visit is a winery, no pumpkin patch or apple orchard for me. Have a great afternoon!

Every year we go at least once to the pumpkin patch. We have a couple pretty good one's in my area. We love taking the grandkids. It's more like a little "fair" than a pumpkin patch.

I would love to go apple picking. Unfortunately, we do not have apple trees. My daughter, who lives in Colorado, had an apple tree in her yard and they were the best apples. So, yes, I would go apple picking IF that was possible.

And I do dress for the occassion. I like to wear fall attire. Oh, and I attend a Harvest Festival we have every October. Fall is a fun time of year.

Yes...I live in the country & pick apples at a nearby orchard every year.

No, I lack the appropriate attire.

It's not a must do annual thing but we've gone several times as a family outing.

My pumpkin patch and apple orchard are limited to my local Trader Jo's!

I go to the Pumpkin Farm with my granddaughters every October!

It's really fun, we pick out pumpkins, and there is a station where you can carve them there if you want to and decorate them.

They have refreshments, hay rides and corn mazes for the older kids...

We also live near a huge Apple Orchard, however it is always so crowded you have to wait hours to get in, so we haven't done that one yet....

It looks fun as well with lots of activitie sfor kids to do there, and there is also a restaurant attached for lunch.....

Oh my yes! I live downstate Illinois, the number one pumpkin growing state. I pass through pumpkin patches whenever I travel to see my daughters or drive to other towns.

We also have many apple orchards. Love to visit them in the Fall season.

Nope. The only apple, or pumpkin picking I do, is at my grocery store. No apple trees, in these parts, and I don't think there's a pumpkin patch anywhere near me, either. If there was, I'd love to go.
